Description

In this enchanted garniture, the spire shape of the covered vase is thematically integrated with the scene portrayed in the décor: a temple set in a flourishing Eden. A diagonal yellow path leads the observer through the garden to a house of worship, while a benevolent sun shines overhead. On the covered vase, the scene is viewed through a fanciful arcade. This complex decorative program rewards the observer
with delight in its artistry and in its subtle message of hope and renewal.
